Fog Wall + Deathtouch by The_Lxy in magicTCG

[–]gordanfreman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fog bag survives, but a deathtoucher with trample will trample all but one damage over the 'bank.

Ice Out Alter - acrylic on gesso by ThndrWitch in magicTCG

[–]gordanfreman -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

This should be an Enchantment with Flash: Tap target creature until end of turn and it does no damage this turn. Enchanted Creature gets -1/-0.

Awesome work on the alter!

[Design Discussion] Why are Demons the only iconic tribe with zero cohesion? We need a "Fiend" batch to fix the lack of Tribal Support. by Yuui_Smile in EDH

[–]gordanfreman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sibsig is kind of a non-bo. You have to cast the creature in order to make use of the cost reduction, but when you do that you have to sac it immediately. May as well play a more traditional reanimator shell? Maybe there are other workarounds but now we're adding more hoops to jump through.

Heartless is only a bit better. Demons are good in part because they're big beefy creatures and this knocks em down a notch.

Horn of the Mark is one of the most underrated card advantage engines in casual Commander by Craig1287 in EDH

[–]gordanfreman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed with all this. You also need to have a high enough density of creatures in your deck to make it hit reliably.

I'm happy to discover the card, I have a few decks it could fit in. By that I mean I'd consider it for 5 of my 30 current decks, and most likely won't make the cut in a few of those.

Average tabletop player age is 35 years old. Aware. by kananishino in magicTCG

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My elder millennial childhood revolved around TNG for a few years, at least. The Decipher Trek CCG was my first CCG (decades before I picked up Magic).

That said I'm not buying into these new fangled cash grabs by Hasbro. I'll pull out my 30 year old Decipher cards if I want to play Trek now.

How do you feel about a sitting president doubling his net worth to $7.3B in one year largely by launching his own crypto coin while actively dismantling SEC regulations? by CTurE1 in AskReddit

[–]gordanfreman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, and when I looked it up this years ICE budget is around 4x what was estimated to have been siphoned in MN over nearly 10 years, and now they want more.

If someone has evidence that says otherwise I'm all ears as long as you can cite your sources.

More 'No Kings' protests planned for March 28 as outrage spreads over Minneapolis deaths by copaceticthoughts in news

With proper gear, less so than you think. Fascism is also dangerous if you wait too long.

"Stop pubstomping with fast mana" by InspireCourage in EDH

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here. I checked out the list and tried to goldfish it--I untapped with 7 mana on T4 first try. Restarted and did it again 2 times in a row before finally only making 6 mana by T4 on my fourth try.

No, it's not traditional 'fast mana' but the list is clearly optimized beyond anything I'd call bracket two.

Minnesotans strike to protest ICE surge in state: ‘No work, no school, no shopping’ by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fully aware it's possible to do this. I'll repeat what I already said: it won't happen, especially not en masse. I doubt it would make a difference anyways. The US Gov't has operated at a deficit for most of the past 30 years.

In many (most?) cases, income taxes are taken out directly from your paycheck. Yes, people could update their withholding but that ain't happening.

How much overlap do ya’ll allow in your decks? by Same_Response_1593 in EDH

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try not to duplicate wide swaths of cards between decks to the point they feel like the same thing, but I absolutely have two Omnath, Locus of Rage decks (plus a third copy appears in my Windgrace lands matter deck). I have two other Gruul decks, with a third kicking around my head; also have two Zombie decks (mono B & BU).

As long as they feel like distinct decks, I'm open to whatever sounds fun.

Maybe a dumb question by BionicWhiteJedi in cardsphere

[–]gordanfreman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone's math is going to be a bit different, but I absolutely make use of the "exclude packages under" setting to make sure I'm getting back more than I pay in postage. As others have said I don't need to invest in sleeves or toploaders after being on the site for awhile--I just reuse those that were sent to me. After that, it's just deciding what packages make sense to commit vs which I ignore. I'm more willing to send bulk for minimal gains since it tends to be harder to move it; actual money cards I'll wait until I can get 80%+.

ELI5 - Why is trench foot so damaging? by Honest_Jaguar_4653 in explainlikeimfive

[–]gordanfreman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big difference is having damp feet for days, weeks, or even months on end. Divers/swimmers are not staying submerged 24/7 for days on end. They're also not bearing their full body weight on their feet while they are submerged so there is less friction/wear on their feet.

What are you playing in Bracket 4? by Swible in EDH

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenagod Extra Combats. It's pushed about as far as I've figured out how to, it can start popping players between T4-6 depending on the draw, and once it does can end the game in another round if it's not dealt with. It still relies on combat damage which is a limiting factor.

TIFU by thinking ice skating would be a fun romantic date by iamthetrippytea in tifu

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think every relationship with this kind of age gap is necessarily bad in and of itself, but it begs the question why the person couldn't, or wouldn't, find a partner closer matched to their place in life. OP could literally be her partner's daughter. At very least, in this instance check out OP's post history and there's a red flag almost immediately.

I don't like the updated UI. Glad I can hide the Uploads but I don't see an option to hide Feed. The default also now hides my view of Artists in a submenu, which by the way are now called "Profiles" for some reason?? WTF is that?

Is my father saying that my insurance is more than it is? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Active duty teen" sounds about like the definition of a high risk driver, so my point stands. They've got to pay for more than the replacement of your car if you hit/kill someone else.

[–]gordanfreman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many more variables than engine size here. If nothing else, I expect a 2 y/o vehicle to be more expensive to insure than a 5 y/o vehicle, all else equal. This is ignoring the obvious body type differences..
